It also houses some of the well known endangered species like Nilgiri Thar, the Grizzled Giant Squirrel, the Nilgiri Wood-pigeon, the Sambar, and the Neelakurinji which is extremely rare to spot elsewhere....

Yercaud doesn't have much to do hence it isn't so crowded, must say a super get away on week ends and some time for a couple of hours as well, so I took of to the hills planning to beat the heat and very unplanned at the same time, started with the deer park, it's a tiny Tourist park with a few animals, peacock and peahens , pigeons, guinepig and a few deers, u can feed the peahens and the peacock they are all caged but friendly, they get close to you to see if you have anything to feed them, the pigeons usually hesitant, they too get close to any human, they are caged and yet they get close to humans looking for something to eat, and they are just beautiful, mostly thirsty, and the park has an excellent lake view, as much as I wanted to go boating, I didn't as I was short on time, because I had to get to the water falls by walk it was a 4km walk and it was going to take time also the last bus out of the hills towards the city was at 7.30pm sharp, to eat there are these lil cart Shops, you get bread omlet to eat some fruits chopped in a plastic glass and the famous sweet corn, about 100/- for all of it and tea, also since I was there for a couple of hours, I wasn't eating heavy, coz I would end up searching for washrooms, so just to keep energy flowing I was eating small and I was eating right, so after wards I decided to head towards the kiliyur falls, which shows about 3.2 km on boards but it much further, it was a good 2 hour walk, and about 200 hundred steps to climb down the hill and back up, the Walk was fast as most of it was more or less like down hill, 50 shades of lushious greenery around and it just started to drizzle for not too long just abt 2 mins, and since I was unprepared I was praying that it shouldn't rain as I had no rain coat or probably like a spot or a shop to hide my self from the rain, but didn't rain nature has its mood swings, it was only drizzles every 15 mins for just 2 mins, so I reached kiliyur falls, well bad luck no water falls, just lil stream of it, but hey guess what?...

Tired after all the walking and shopping, I later took a boat ride from Montreux to Vevey for some of the most extraordinary waterfront views—ducks, pigeons, and pretty birds perfectly placed on the shore....
